For how many healthy ingredients they have for their dishes, I don't understand why they don't keep a veganv or easily vegan-able item or two on their menu. Non vegans who just like the dish will order it, too. I yet again had to order a black bean burger party (itself nice) sitting on greens with a couple of veggies on it. That or pay big bucks for oatmeal, which is never an enticing option when it's cheap and easy to make at home.I've had more satisfying vegan meals at greasy spoons by ordering à la carte, sadly.

My family and I had the best experience here today. Our server Kylie was ver attentive and so friendly she helped my mom with her selection from their menu. The atmosphere was clean and the service was excellent. We will definitely make this our Saturday morning family event in the future. Thanks again Kylie for your hospitality.

Had a fantastic brunch - the cinnamon toast cereal milk drink & their new Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich were so so good (please make that breakfast sandwich permanent!). My server April was so sweet and gave such good service - I've been to pricey steakhouses with less attentive servers. Will definitely be back!Parking: Ample parking in big shared lot

Came here for a birthday brunch and it was a pleasant experience. Our waitress was friendly and provided excellent service. Their new blackberry lemon french toast is delicious and the Mango Passion Palmer.

Thank you to First Watch for the delicious iced coffee, which has me caffeinated and ready to write my first review of 2024! I could spend the whole review just writing a love letter to the iced coffee. It has it all going on. Always plenty of ice, perfectly sweetened, slight hint of vanilla flavor. I typically order for takeout at First Watch and I always pick something off the seasonal "specials" list. Generally, the food has always tasted delicious. My only caveat is that they are very light handed on the meat and the toppings. You will be playing Where's Waldo looking for the brisket or the barbacoa. They are also very stingy with sour cream for some reason. Anyways. The food tastes so good, that I don't get hung up on that. Staff at this location is always great and orders have always been ready for pickup on time.

Delicious food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We visit this First Watch every time we visit our son and daughter-in-law. It’s walking distance from their house and it’s always delicious!

First Watch is my favorite breakfast restaurant in Upper Arlington. Their menu is pretty straightforward-- they just do all the American breakfast classics really well! Their coffee is great, their service is great, and the price is reasonable given the quality. My kids are still too young for us to enjoy dining out for breakfast too often, but we'll definitely be back again for breakfast!

It's what you'd expect from a First Watch. Good service, food was decent. The Ginger Spice Donuts were very delicious.
